Currently at Aspen Airport waiting to get on our little plane to fly to Denver and then onto Washington DC. Hopefully the weather stays ok as on Saturday they were canceling flights left right and centre due to high winds. This morning we just got up and had brekky and wandered around town looking in shops. Yesterday we skied Snowmass mountain again which was fun but VERY cold, in the morning the thermometer read 0 degrees Fahrenheit which is bloody cold, my e...

We checked out of Vegas early and drove to the Hoover Dam which is a very impressive art deco piece of engineering. We walked the new bridge over the Colorado river which gave us a great view back at the dam wall, it was a bit scary looking down hundreds of meters into the river. We then d...
